Comment (by JosVelasco):

 What I mean is we can add a new flag to the plugin’s code for the plugin’s
 authors to opt-in, or as a constant defined by a plugin or wp-config.php
 for the maintenance companies not to enable all auto-updates, but to allow
 WordPress to enable them by default if the user installs the plugin from
 the Plugin Add New Screen.

 Just a way to define the initial state rather than forcing them.

 Or at least the “Activate” button would have a checked option to suggest
 they enable auto-updates under it with a legend like: “Also enable auto-
 updates.”

 I guess a good starting point would be to include the toggle link to
 increase discoverability of the auto-updates function.
